PER CURIAM.
Gerald Plesant Burnsed, Jr., appeals the summary denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The trial court denied the motion as being successive and an abuse of procedure. Because rule 3.800 contains no proscription against successive motions, a motion brought pursuant to that rule cannot be denied on this ground. See Burns v. State, 637 So. 2d 937 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994); Price v. State, 692 So. 2d 971 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997). Such an error would ordinarily require reversal. In the interest of judicial economy, however, we reviewed Burnsed’s motion and determined that neither of his claims is cognizable in a proceeding pursuant to rule 3.800. See Gartrell v. State, 626 So. 2d 1364 (Fla.1993). We, therefore, affirm the denial of his motion.
Affirmed.

As Fuston correctly points out in his initial brief, there is no proscription against filing successive rule 3.800(a) motions. See Burnsed v. State, 761 So. 2d 1139 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000). However, a defendant is not entitled to successive review on a rule 3.800(a) motion of a specific issue which has already been decided against him. See Price v. State, 692 So. 2d 971 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997). Nevertheless, [*780] Fusto…
